I watch her show from time to time, not on a regular basis. But
I don't recall her ever saying that. Maybe I just wasn't paying
close enough attention. Anyhoo . . .

I didn't know about the Croatia thing. I thought she was of
mixed ancestry. Bastianich doesn't sound very Italian so I thought
her father might have been something else. She sometimes has her
mother on the show and her mother is *VERY* Italian. :-)
